The AAAI Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Transportation WAIT-15

Included page "clone:ai-for-transportation" does not exist (create it now)

Austin, Texas, USA, January 26 2015

The transportation domain is increasingly taking up AI techniques in the design of products and systems.
Cars nowadays implement machine learning algorithms. When searching for a route on a mobile, solutions
are provided through AI algorithms. In this workshop, we will explore a fast-growing application domain in
which AI techniques are crucial for creating the next generation of tools and research methods.

The workshop will give examples of on-going concrete research, but also of the value that this creates for travellers
and cities. The process and project issues that are associated with AI in this domain that is so close to real-world
human behaviour will be discussed and illustrated.

About our invited speaker

Scott Sanner is a Principal Researcher at NICTA Canberra and Adjunct Faculty at the Australian National University where his research spans a broad range of topics from machine learning to optimization.

Format and audience

The workshop will include one invited talk, paper presentations and time for discussions. The intended
audience includes not only AI researchers and practitioners working in transportation problems, but also
researchers interested in the challenges and the opportunities featured by transportation as an AI benchmark domain.

Workshop objectives

Encouraging a stronger interaction between AI and transportation.

Exposing and investigating real-life transportation problems that can be tackled with AI.
